<br/><br/> "About a fifth of the gun dealers that were the most frequent suppliers of firearms linked to crimes during the late 1990s are no longer in business, although enforcement efforts against dealers are lagging under the Bush administration, a gun-control group said in a study released Monday [Jan. 12, 2004]." (LOS ANGELES TIMES) This article reveals that "the vast majority of 'high-crime dealers' continues to operate, with little federal oversight," noting that "most of the dealers had not been federally inspected since 2000, and that the total number of criminal prosecutions of dealers by the Justice Department had declined 25% in 2002, compared with the last year of Clinton's presidency."
